Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
The LD50 was considered to be >10000 mg/kg bw, when Tif. RAI rats were treated with test chemical via oral gavage route.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity test was conducted using test chemical in 20 Tif. RAI rats (10 males/10 females), bred under SPF conditions at the dose concentration of 6000 and 10000 mg/kg bw. The test substance was weighed into an Erlenmeyer flask on a Mettler balance. It was suspended at 50 and 60 % with carboxymethylcellulose 2 % and administered by oral intubation. Before treatment the suspension was homogeneously dispersed with an Ultra-Turrax and during treatment it was kept stable with a magnetic stirrer. Mortality and general symptoms was observed at 1 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 7 days.Animals were observed for clinical signs. No mortality was observed at any of the dose in treated rats. Within 2 hours after treatment the rats of both dosage groups showed dyspnoea, exophthalmus, curved position and ruffled fur. The animals had recovered within 4 to 6 days.They were killed and autopsied after an observation period of 7 days. No substance related gross organ changes were seen. Hence, LD50 was considered to be >10000 mg/kg bw, when Tif. RAI rats were treated with test chemical via oral gavage route.
